MR imaging-guided prostate interventional imaging: Ready for a clinical use?

摘要: Prostate interventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is now routinely performed in many centers. Its more widespread acceptance limited by the cost of use MRI largely related to long duration time procedures. However, benefit a robotic assistance has generated new interest, because it substantially shortens procedure time, while improving accuracy. MRI-guided biopsy considered as an appealing alternative transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided fusion biopsy, given limitations TRUS-MRI image registration systems. focal treatment also benefits from and unique property MRI, which allows measurement temperature real-time during tumor ablation. The transperineal approaches can be used respective indications each pathway will depend on several factors, including location examination condition occupation MR room, major factor influencing overall This review addresses current practice prostate procedures potential future applications.
